I enjoyed the Matrix movies (yes, all of them), and loved V for Vendetta, and I enjoy Guild Wars 2. But this trailer is ridiculous.

It's like the marketing people went, "Okay, we have sex appeal (girl with come hither look), we have appeal to be part of the in crowd (the 'cool' kids roaming around), what else can we throw in? Oh, I know, how about we tap into that discontent and rebelliousness thing?"

Yeah, right. As someone already said, you're going to sit and play a game.

Real world changing there. Real rebellious.

Stupid marketing.

I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals.

I really cant see it bringing new players in to gaming and it obviously doesn't appeal to the gaming community, feedback has been overwhelmingly negative so far. Too much pretense, trying to get in with rebelliousness of youth in an obvious and clichéd way. There's too much of a disconnect between the live action and the game, we get that it's a comment on stagnation at the beginning, then there's the clip of riot police followed by the graffiti, complete with the sound of sirens and helicopters, too many cliches being used and what was the point of the gas mask?

We get the group of people with one guy walking on hot coals, it's so different from the previous segment it jars, why are the people so focused on the coals, what was special about them? The people looked bored, a kind of blank smile, no excitement nor anticipation for the guy about to walk on the coals, it's like the coals are more important for some reason. Walking on coals at an organised beach party after a few beers isn't an unlikely event in reality and would generate more excitement.

Swimming through a flooded living space, the red dress flowed nicely in the water, sensual but the setting didn't make sense and was a stark contrast to what came before, what's it saying? that underwater in GW2 is as comfortable as being in your living room? I have no idea.

The woman emerging from the water was reminiscent of bad 70's/80's movies featuring Bo Derek BUT the transition from RL to NPC was nice, it worked from then on in.

I love GW2, love Anet, real shame they farmed this out and wasted good money on it.

The word "Dethroned" implies that something else has taken its place...which is not true at all. So like the content or not WOW is still the king of MMOs and will be for some time looking ahead the next few years.

The way i see it is when people will see that on tv they will be like hmm what is that? and will probably watch it to the end because its make you want to know wth is this all about ,

i just showed this to my brother without saying anything and he was like cool i was not expeting to see this kind of trailer for a game. he watched it to the end and he liked it, btw he dont play gw2 but he watched its full.

even if people will say ahh its a trailer for game/arenanet/ncsoft people will watch it completly just to know ,

its a good publicity/advertising, so its good for them in my opinion,

It basically says; "real world gone to shit so instead of doing something about it escape to our virtual one and hide there". And to add insult to injury they are talking about opening our eyes, rising up, reclaiming what is ours. Yeah, good luck with that because playing an mmo is doing exactly the oppoesite of that.

Yeah, i dont buy that the trailer was intended for us older MMO'ers. Cus if it was their marketing department failed hard.

GW2 is designed for the newer generation who wants instant gratification and easy mode gaming. Most of us older gamers realize that although we dont have the time to invest we'd still rather have something to work towards as more long term goals.

Ok. I understand the whole let the game speak for itself thing but they REALLY shouldn't release trailers like this. I hope to god I don't see this on TV. Otherwise I'm going to have to hide the fact that I play this game opposed to how I've been showing off every boss fight to my roommates. This is embarassing.

The way I see it, when people see this on TV they will be thinking "man, I wish I could Fast Forward through this crap"

Those who have a DVR would be slamming the 'skip' button thinking "thank God I recorded this show! I can skip through this crap!"

There are 3 types of people in the world.1.) Those who make things happen2.) Those who watch things happen3.) And those who wonder "What the %#*& just happened?!"

yet its more difficult that most any MMO thats been released in the past 10 years.. go figure. Except here though the hardcore elite pro MMOers of MMORPG.com are just to pro for this game.... so Iv'e heard...

I have been gaming since the 80s so I'd consider myself an "older" gamer..

trailer was little better on second watch but still dissapointing overall to me

I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg
